My new sewing machine!

Hello everyone!  As I wrote in my bio, I started sewing at the tender age of 5.  But for reasons unknown to me (more like what the heck was I thinking????), I stopped sewing about 10 years ago.  My daughters gave me an unexpected gift of a lovely sewing machine.  I think they are sad that I quit sewing mosly for them.  Anyway, I got started with a project I found on line and here it is.  It is a quilted wallet and I have since made two more and working on a fourth.  I have been happily giving them as little gifts. 

In addition, I have started watching Project Runway.  I have zero art talent, but have recently remarried to a writer and artist who is determined to bring the artist and writer out in everyone including me.  

Sewing gave me so much over my life.  I am shocked at myself when I realize I had abandonded something so precious to me.  I look forward to reading other sewers' blogs and relearning the art and craft.

Thank you,  Chris
